This book brings together contributions from international experts with academic and industry backgrounds to provide a systematic overview of ocean energy technologies, their readiness and modelling, as well as installation and grid connection technologies.

This book presents comprehensive coverage of the means to integrate renewable power, namely wind and solar power. It looks at new approaches to meet the challenges, such as increasing interconnection capacity among geographical areas, hybridisation of different distributed energy resources and building up demand response capabilities.

The transformation of the electricity sector is highly complex, including integration of large shares of renewables, storage, forecasting and modelling, biofuels, and electricity markets. This book provides clarity on the interlinked processes of the transformation towards 100 percent renewable power.

Energy: Resources, technologies and the environment is aimed at students and professionals as well as anyone interested in having a global vision and perspective on energy.

This book presents cutting-edge perspectives and research results in smart energy spanning multiple disciplines across four main topics: smart metering, smart grid modeling, control and optimization, and smart grid communications and networking.

This book describes the latest technology in microgrids and economic, environmental and policy aspects of their implementation, including microgrids for cold regions, and future trends. The aim of this work is to give this complete overview of the latest technology around the world, and the interrelation with clean energy systems.

Wave and tidal energy engineering has developed strongly in the past decade, with 100MW arrays of full-scale grid-connected wave and tidal devices planned for the next few years. This book provides an electrical engineering perspective on these offshore power stations and their integration to the grid.

In an era of increasing contributions from intermittent renewable resources, energy storage is becoming more important to ensure a resilient/reliable electricity supply. This book presents the technology, integration and market aspects of energy storage in the various generation, transmission, distribution, and customer levels of the grid.
